"In fallen triangle, Tiger Mum notices the line of her inner thigh. Sleek and lean from all that quiet, careful stalking and pouncing. She is a killer at work with the KPIs. Buffalo Mum’s thighs are formless, and quiver with the effort of holding her ponderous body up." So imaginative. Love!
Such a moving CNF @mmlynchwriter.bsky.social
Before tomorrow's new edition, make time to read our returning contributor aka The Bulb Region family member Claudia Monpere's (@claudiamonpere.bsky.social) fantastic micro, "The Periodic Family," in Centaur.

Thank you @bulbculture.bsky.social for resurrecting this piece, very close to my heart, first pubbed in @ellipsiszine. It’s about the comparisons we make at yoga class. Thanks for reading 🙏🏾
In his new wheelchair, radiating excitement, Dad looked like a child riding a bike for the first time without training wheels. “Watch me now,” he said, propelling himself forward through the garden, showing off for Mom. Her expression was hard to read.
